Dodd says:

Mr. Mukasey's position that the President does not have to heed the law disqualifies him from being the chief attorney for the United States. We have seen for too long, and at great expense to our national security, an Administration that has systematically attacked the rule of law and turned our Justice Department into a political wing of the White House. I'm afraid that Mr. Mukasey as Attorney General would be more of the same.

    where Mukasey says that the President doesn't have to obey the law??

    Color me skeptical, but I just don't see him having done that.

    BTW - The DOJ and the AG aren't supposed to define the laws, that is the job of Congress. So instead of asking Mukasey what's illegal, why don't they pass a law???

    jim, they already did. (none / 0) (#6)
